The Rise Of Space Technology

"Ready to fire~"

After receiving Liu Yuan's order, Wang Wei didn't delay, and immediately ordered to the people around him.

"Yes~"

The scientists and researchers in the laboratory were all excited, and all kinds of detection instruments were turned on. At the same time, high-definition cameras were aimed at the core area, ready to record everything in front of them for the convenience of scientists. Research later.

"ignition!"

Soon, with an order in the broadcast, the huge ignition device began to activate.

I saw the source of the ignition device, and a laser beam containing powerful energy was lasing out, and then it was quickly divided into two and four, and quickly split into thousands of beams.

Thousands of beams pass through the enhancement device, and the energy carried and contained continues to increase, getting stronger and stronger, after the enhancement stage.

Thousands of laser beams burst out dazzling light in an instant, like a series of sharp swords, they were instantly concentrated on a small point only 3 mm at the core.

At the moment when the laser beam was fired, the originally bright laboratory was shrouded in endless rays of light in an instant. The light blooming in the core area was as dazzling as the sun, extremely bright, and the temperature in the laboratory was also In an instant, it rose rapidly, and a heat wave stirred from the center point.

All of this is slow, but it actually happened in a very short period of time. The beam was split, enhanced, and concentrated to a point, almost in an instant.

The light in the laboratory also lit up instantly, but it only lasted for a very short time, and soon the energy was exhausted and quickly returned to the normal state.

"Whoo~"

Wang Wei, Liu Yuan and the others heaved a heavy sigh of relief. In just a moment, they really felt like they were facing the stars at close range, with dazzling light and terrifying heat waves. This was even when there were strict protection measures in the laboratory. If it is in the central area of ​​the laboratory, it is estimated that it will face higher temperatures and more terrible heat waves.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

The huge display in the laboratory began to quickly display a lot of data generated by the just-fired laboratory.

"The temperature exceeds 100 million degrees~"

Everyone looked at the display, and when they saw the most important point, they couldn't help cheering, and applause kept ringing in the laboratory.

The high temperature of 100 million degrees is a very terrifying high temperature.

You must know that the surface temperature of the sun is only about 6,000 degrees, and the temperature of the inner core of the sun is only about 15 million degrees.

The high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees is enough to simulate the situation when the star is initially ignited, although this time is very short, less than a second.

But it can still provide scientists with a lot of information and a lot of research materials to study how stars are ignited and how nuclear fusion occurs.

"Not bad, it's absolutely enough to ignite nuclear fusion."

Liu Yuan also nodded with satisfaction. It can generate a high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, which is enough to ignite the material for nuclear fusion. You must know that the temperature generated by the explosion of an atomic bomb is generally around 50 million degrees, which is enough to use To detonate the hydrogen bomb.

Now this ignition device can produce hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature, which is absolutely enough to ignite nuclear fusion.

The only thing that needs to be continuously improved is that its size is too large, and the construction is too troublesome. It must be continuously simplified, and at the same time, it must be improved, and it can be developed into the form of energy weapons, which can be applied to space battleships in the future. Above, used in the field of energy weapon technology.

"Unfortunately, we don't have the materials for nuclear fusion on hand, otherwise we can carry out some related experiments now."

Wang Wei touched his chin, thought about it, and said.

Controllable nuclear fusion technology is definitely an epoch-making technology. Once human beings can master this technology, human beings can have inexhaustible energy.

At the same time, with the controllable nuclear fusion technology, it also means that humans have mastered the energy of interstellar navigation, and only need to manufacture the warp engine, and humans can traverse the interstellar universe.

The vast starry sky can no longer stop the footsteps of human beings, and the stars and the sea can fly freely and vertically.

"Go back and get in touch with Wan Hanrui, and build an ignition device on the moon."

Liu Yuan thought about it and ordered Wang Wei.

This nuclear fusion experiment has never passed the review, and Liu Yuan naturally does not intend to continue to spend with them like this. I don't have time to wait, and I don't have time to play these boring political games with them. Since there is no way to do this experiment on the earth, then go to the moon to do the experiment.

Anyway, he3 on the moon is very rich, it is the most ideal nuclear fusion material and energy, and it will become the most important energy in the future.

Therefore, it is only necessary to build another ignition device on the moon, and when the magnetic confinement technology is also developed, the controllable nuclear fusion technology can almost be mastered.

As for the warp engine technology, it is currently under orderly research, and there is one problem that has not been overcome, and that is the material problem.

The warp engine is very powerful and can directly perform warp flight. In addition, the energy is nuclear fusion energy. This general material cannot be used to make the warp engine at all. It needs to use a theoretical material—— Only degenerate materials can meet the needs of warp engines.

The so-called degenerate material is a high-density material, and its main pressure comes from the Pauli exclusion principle, also called degenerate pressure.

This degenerate matter and material, which is theoretically the main material for neutron stars, is formed after the star's late stage.

With the current technology of human beings, it is too difficult to manufacture degenerate materials, let alone large-scale manufacturing to manufacture warp engines.

So the warp engine technology is definitely not a simple technology, it is a systematic project.

It involves many fields such as space theory, cosmic astronomy, materials science, energetics, optics, nuclear energy, etc. It is a comprehensive test of the level of scientific and technological development of a civilization.

There are countless stellar-level civilizations in the universe, but it is rare to be able to master the warp engine and become a river system-level civilization.

Because it takes too much technology to make a warp drive and use it.

You need to master powerful material technology, so that you can meet the basics of manufacturing warp engines. Secondly, you need to develop cosmic astronomy and space science. With certain research and understanding of these, you can master the theoretical basis of warp engine technology.

Next is energy. If you want to master controllable nuclear fusion technology, you have to study magnetic confinement technology, ignition technology, nuclear fusion technology and so on.

Each of these technologies is a Mount Everest. I don’t know how many technologies are derived from large and small. If nothing else, just in terms of ignition devices, the design involves optics, materials, fluids, chemistry. And many other fields, in which you have to have a strong foundation to be able to manufacture such an ignition device. .

Otherwise, in any field, if you can't make it, you can't make this ignition device, and it will always get stuck.

If you want to fully master the technology of warp speed engine, it requires a civilization to spend a long time to accumulate and study.

The reason why Xinghai Technology dared to launch this technology is entirely because Liu Yuan has the help of inheritance seeds, there are guidelines, and there are even ready-made warp engines for you to study.

In addition, the scientists of Xinghai Technology were all secretly cultivated and transformed by Liu Yuan, which cost a lot of people. Any one of them is a national treasure-level scientist, and the level is only higher than that of a national treasure-level scientist of a stellar civilization. powerful.

This is why Liu Yuan dared to launch the warp engine project. Without these, Liu Yuan would not be able to study and manufacture the warp engine even if he was a genius.

"I understand~"

As soon as Wang Wei heard it, he immediately understood what Liu Yuan meant.

This is to put the research of controllable nuclear fusion technology on the moon.

Perhaps the manufacture and research of the warp drive will also be put on the moon.

The moon is now a borderless land, and it is also a place that is not subject to legal jurisdiction and constraints. There is no need to worry about anything here, and there is no need to apply for it.

At present, Xinghai Technology has also established a huge lunar base on the moon. On the one hand, it is used for mining. On the other hand, it is also conducting various scientific experiments. There are various laboratories on the moon.

One of the important reasons for the rapid development of Xinghai Technology's technology is that Xinghai Technology has many conditions that others do not have.

Like a laboratory, Xinghai Technology not only has a space laboratory, but also a lunar laboratory. All kinds of equipment and instruments are the best, and the funds are also very sufficient.

Most of Xinghai Technology's money is spent by Liu Yuan on scientific research. He has hundreds of thousands of scientists, and a large number of researchers and engineers. It is very expensive. The salary alone is astronomical. Experiments, research, funding, laboratories, etc. are more expensive.

Without Liu Yuan, who is willing to spend money, how could Xinghai Technology have the current scientific and technological strength, and dare to engage in the warp engine project as a private company, to do things that require a civilization to devote its entire civilization strength to do.

Rebuilding an ignition device on the moon is definitely not an easy task. Its cost and cost may be several times that of the earth. Many things have to be transported to the moon, and the construction is more troublesome and the cost is very huge.

But Liu Yuan said he would do it without batting an eye. The money is to be used on such a blade, in key places, don't be stingy, don't be reluctant.

Of course, as a senior executive of Xinghai Technology, Wang Wei naturally understands Liu Yuan's purpose and plans for the future.
